“We’re so proud to be able to make this huge step to packaging and distribution after less than two years in business; it’s humbling,” – said John Bikis

Canton, OHIO (PRWEB)April 29, 2017

The Royal Docks Brewing Company is set to launch distribution of its portfolio of core and seasonal products on draught and packaged in 12 oz. cans throughout Northeast and Central Ohio starting the week of May 8 through Heidelberg Distributing Company. This is the first time that a lineup of Royal Docks’ products will be available in single-serve packages and widely available throughout the regions in kegs. This is also the first time ever – pre or post-prohibition – that a Stark County brewery has released beer in can.

Royal Docks brand ambassadors along with proprietors John and Adriana Bikis and brewmaster Dave Sutula will be present at launch events throughout the regions including the semi-private pre-release on May 4 at their original Jackson Township taproom located at 7162 Fulton Dr. NE in Canton, Ohio and at the official ‘PUTTING THE CAN IN CANTON’ release at Buzzbin Arcade at 331 Cleveland Ave, Canton during the monthly Canton First Friday celebration.

“This is a important step for us; putting beer in cans and sending it out into the market is scary for us because its nearly impossible to know how the product is going to be treated once it leaves our dock,” Sutula said. “That’s why the selection of a distributor is so critical. Heidelberg came highly recommended from our brewer friends at Brooklyn Brewery and Uinta and after long talks with several distributors about beer quality and strategy, I’m confident that we’ve found the right partner to take us to the next level.”
